Check out the original TV adverts from Japan for the Elgrand. The video has adverts covering the E50, E51 and then finally the best model of all, the E52.
This is the first of a few posts that I will try and highlight the differences between the E51 and E52 Elgrand models. As an owner of an E52 and a keen participant in the Elgrand facebook groups and forums, I have come across alot of posts that make comments about the E52 being 'just an estate car' or 'a Vauxhall Zafira on steroids' or that its 'lost the spirit of what an Elgrand is'. Its very hard to find much information about the E52 so its also very difficult to show if these comments are accurate or not. I have managed to get my hands on information from Japan that highlights some of the differences. For this post I will focus on the changes to the size of the Elgrand. Introduced in 2010, the E52 Elgrand made a significant departure from the previous model, opting for a front wheel drive setup instead of the E51's rear wheel drive. This was a very clever change from Nissan as it allowed them to change the dimensions of the car for better performance...
One of the first questions asked by any prospective Elgrand owner is what fuel economy is like, and there is quite a lot of discussion about the E51's economy, but very little about the E52. I have kept a log of my fuel and mileage which might be helpful to you as an idea of what you are likely to get. Be warned though, it might not be pleasant reading! In the last 6 months I have covered nearly 5000 KMs (my car is still recording in KMs) and the records I have are as follows: Litres KMs KM/L MPG 64 325 5.08 14.34 28 289 10.32 29.16 29 171 5.90 16.66 60 517 8.62 24.34 56 435 7.77 21.94 81 703 8.68 24.52 33 309 9.36 26.45 61 498 8.16 ...
Hopefully this helps some of you E52 owners out there or potential owners. I have found and translated the Elgrand brochure specifications that were published from Nissan. 2 Wheel Drive Drivetrain 2WD Engine VQ35DE QR25DE Model 350 Highway Star Premium 350 Highway Star 250 Highway Star 250XG Seats 7 Seater 8 Seater 7 Seater 8 Seater Model Code DBA-PE52 DBA-TE52 CVT with Manual 6 Mode X X X X X X External Dimensions Length (mm) 4915 4915 Width (mm) 1850 1850 Height (mm) 1815 1805 Internal Dimensions Length (mm) 3020 Width (mm) 1580 Height (mm) 1275 (1270 if sunroofs fitted) Wheelbase 3000 Minimum ground clearance (mm) 150 140 Vehicle Weight (kg) 2020 2000 2000 1920 1920 1900 Total Weight (kg) 2405 2385 2440 2305 2360 2340 Minimum turning radius (m) 5.7 5.4 Fuel efficiency 10.15 Test (kml) 9.4 9.8 11.6 10.15 Test (mpg) 26.555 27.685 32.77 JC08 (kml) 9.2 9.2 10.8 ...
